The trailer song for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage exposes the dark story of Young Sheldon‘s sequel. Around a month before the newest installment in the evolving The Big Bang Theory franchise, CBS is ramping up the marketing campaign for the project. Despite the divisive cancelation of Young Sheldon, Georgie’s story will continue as Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage‘s narrative shifts focus to him and his growing family of three with Mandy and Baby Cece. As part of the franchise created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, expect that the upcoming project will be funny but also full of heart.
Unlike its parent series, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will be a multi-cam show. Understandably, this raises concerns about its tone being more like The Big Bang Theory‘s than Young Sheldon’s. While all three shows are comedies, the Cooper family‘s narrative had more dramatic and serious storylines than the nerd-centric sitcom. Considering the tragedy looming in Georgie and Mandy’s future, it’s curious how their eventual break-up will play out. For now, CBS is selling Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage as a fun and lighthearted series, although its true dark nature has been expertly hidden in its trailer song.
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s Trailer Song Is The Turtles’ “Happy Together”
The Young Sheldon Sequel Is A New Beginning For Georgie & Mandy
The first trailer for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage uses the song “Happy Together.” Written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, and recorded by the Turtles, the track was released in 1967 and reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. Its upbeat tempo perfectly encapsulates the vibrancy and energy that Lorre wants Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage to imbibe.
Aside from that, the song’s title itself is also fitting, considering that the new show tackles the true beginning of Georgie and Mandy’s family life with Baby Cece. It gives off a sense of optimism as they embark on this journey together, which suits how Georgie and Mandy have each other’s backs. That said, “Happy Together” has a secret meaning that also exposes Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage‘s secret narrative.
“Happy Together’s” Lyrics Expose The Dark Nature Of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage
Georgie & Mandy Will Eventually Divorce
While the melody and title tease a fun love story, “Happy Together’s” lyrics reveal how sad it is, talking about unrequited love from a man’s perspective, as he asks his love to imagine a happy life that they can have if they are together. He even contemplates if he can call so he can properly convince her to be with him. Since the pair is confirmed to eventually get divorced, per The Big Bang Theory, the song sounds like a premonition to what older Georgie may be feeling as he continues to be hung up on his failed marriage with Mandy.
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage hinting that the couple will eventually find their way into each other after The Big Bang Theory ended further backs up this idea. Perhaps, like how the Young Sheldon finale played out, the sequel series can also wrap up with a flash-forward scene that shows Georgie and Mandy getting back together. This way, the project can still have a happy send-off despite the pre-determined heartbreaking split of Baby Cece’s parents.
